In previous post, I gave a soy yogurt recipe fermented with chickpeas. However, I would like to give a simple recipe for those who don’t have time and have access to a unsweetened bio yogurt fermented with Bifidus and Acidophilus from market. This yogurt has the same taste as the yogurt made out cow milk. Enjoy it 🙂

For the Turkish cuisine, yogurt is very important ingredient. To make the appetizers (mezes), as an ingredient for the main dishes, as a side dish and even as a drink (ayran) or to make soups, the yogurt is an essential ingredient. Therefore, when I became a vegan, I started to make kitchen experiments to ferment the plant based milks. For the first trials, I could not find any natural soy yogurt without flavor and sugar at the markets. So, I had two solutions. I was going to either order a vegan yogurt starter kit with Bifidus and Acidophilus, or use chickpeas to ferment the plant-based yogurt. I heard about the miracle of chickpeas to ferment yogurt from my mother. Lets have a look at the first adventure, which is to make yogurt with chickpeas 🙂
